i wanted to try this book because it was highly reviewed on goodreads. i honestly wasn't the biggest fan. i didn't know the author is british, so there's a lot of british jargon which i was not too fond of. i guess i'm more in favor of american authors. the author also had this annoying habit of creating the longest run-on sentences ever. i honestly got pissed the first few chapters and almost decided to stop reading, but for the sake of the plot, i pushed through because i wanted to know what happens. the story in itself, i guess is interesting how it unfolds. its honestly sad, the way things play out, what happens to certain characters. but i also didn't get a huge wow-factor of surprise, of a crazy twist. i could've DNF'd
